A prolific artist, Ernst was a primary pioneer of the Dada movement and Surrealism in Europe.

His most famous, and technically difficult, compositions include the sixth of his ''Polyphonic Studies'' "Die letzte Rose", and ''Grand Caprice'' on Schubert's "Erlkönig".

He began playing violin at the a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
